Hesston is a small town in Kansas, which has made a huge global impact on agriculture. For more than 70 years for farmers and contractors across the world, Hesston means innovative, high quality, harvesting equipment.

The home of AGCO’s hay and forage centre of excellence, Hesston has led the industry with hay and forage equipment innovations since 1947 – introducing 50 individual patents on the first ever large square baler, produced in 1978.

With hundreds of other patents to its credit, the Hesston factory continues to be at the forefront of the forage machinery and harvesting fields, producing a full line of equipment including mowing systems, conventional, round and large square balers including the new MF 2370 Ultra High Density model and a range of self-propelled windrowers. These are built alongside the innovative rotary combines and marketed across the globe.

New OptiFlow Pick-up delivers unrivalled performance

With 20% greater feeding capacity, the leading-edge OptiFlow Pick-up ensures the MF 2370 Ultra HD baler consistently delivers maximum output.

Developed specifically to present an even, continuous feed of material to match the baler’s enormous appetite, the OptiFlow Pick-up also offers outstanding flotation and ground following thanks to its innovative design.

By pivoting around the lower auger, there’s less to lift. Durable polypropylene wrapper bands further lighten the load, reduce noise and are quick and easy to replace.

Optimum feeding performance is provided by 80 curved tip double tines, on five tine bars that carefully lift more crop, particularly shorter, delicate material.

Large cross augers and a full-width, driven and floating, top auger further improve feeding by powering the crop to the central feeder. This positive, powered feeding maintains a smooth and constant material flow into the baler.

14%faster pre-compression chamber filling

Key to the MF 2370 Ultra HD’s unrivalled density is its industry-leading pre-compression system. High compression of the incoming material creates denser and more even flakes – each and every time.

The high capacity packer fork begins the process by gathering and transporting the material 14% faster into the pre-compression chamber, compared with the

MF 2270 XD model. Once full, the high-speed stuffer fork delivers the perfectly formed flake into the bale chamber, with optimum capacity.

This tried and tested Hesston-designed system performs flawlessly in all crops and conditions, making perfectly shaped, consistent density bales, which are easy and safe to stack for storage and transport.

State-of-the-art gearbox and high performance flywheel

It takes intelligent design and exceptional engineering to boost bale density to efficiently pack 20% more material into the same 120cm x 90cm bale size.

Massey Ferguson, in conjunction with one of Europe’s leading transmission specialists, has developed a new, immensely strong Ultra Gearbox to handle the extreme loads required to create this outstanding density capability.

A step-up gearbox rotates a new, high performance flywheel at 1,500rpm – which is 50% faster than on the MF 2200 Series. This generates 130% more energy than the XD flywheel to maintain consistent speed for bale quality and smooth, efficient operation.

The new Ultra Gearbox design ingeniously divides the speed reduction between two separate gears, which unite drive back onto the output gear to transmit immense torque within a compact design.

Designed and built using the most up-to-date precision engineering, the Ultra Gearbox combines unmatched power delivery with up-most efficiency. Together with the faster flywheel this results in a smooth drive to the plunger for unparalleled performance.

An automatic cam clutch protects the entire driveline. This straightforward and reliable system cuts downtime, with no need to stop to replace shearbolts.

Straightforward, high specification roller chain and sprocket drives on the MF 2370 UHD baler are hard-wearing and operate very efficiently. Supplied by industry-leading ‘Diamond Chain Company’, they are world-renowned for quality, performance and reliability.

It takes an industry-leading, extreme plunger force of up to 760kN to make Ultra Density, 20% heavier bales.

As well as boosting bale weight and density, a significant, 6.5% plunger speed increase to 50 strokes/min also enhances capacity and performance.

Day and night, the MF 2370 Ultra HD baler works hard, consistently and reliably delivering the highest baling performance to create the heaviest, most dense large square bales, bio-energy and industrial operations demand.

Weighing just 10.8t, the nimble MF 8700 Series tractors are the perfect power unit, with the Dyna-VT transmission ensuring the baler always works at the ideal speed to deliver optimum performance and efficiency.

Standard 620mm wide tyres on the steering tandem axle provide a large footprint to spread the baler’s weight, protecting the precious sward from damage and soil from compaction.

At 13.4t the MF 2370 Ultra HD baler weighs less than other machines.

Ultra Knotters deliver unrivalled reliability

MF 2370 Ultra HD bales are tied by the renowned double knot system, which was pioneered by Hesston engineers and has an unrivalled reputation for rock solid reliability.

Consistent, trouble-free operation is assured because Hesston double knotters tie two knots in each string around the bale. Twines are under far less tension, compared with tying a single knot, which results in consistent tying each time, every time.

• Six Hesston-designed Ultra Knotters

• Renowned double-knot system

• Easy to tie

• Knots formed without twine under tension

• Designed for use with thicker, stronger twine

• Six well-spaced knotters enable effective cleaning

High

s

The latest Ultra Knotters are specifically designed to handle the strain when using new, stronger and thicker twine developed for tying 20% heavier Ultra dense bales.

Ultra Knotter components are larger and stronger to improve performance and durability.

Six knotters spaced evenly across the bale width help keep the area clear of debris, for reliable tying, bale after bale. Knotters are easily lifted for cleaning, with maintenance time reduced by AutoLube, automatic knotter lubrication.

6 Hesston-designed Ultra KnottersFan blasts away debris

A highly efficient hydraulically-driven fan keeps the knotters clear to further improve tying reliability. Developed using state-of-the-art airflow modelling, its controlled air blast efficiently clears debris more effectively to maintain trouble-free knotter operation.

Exclusive EasyFill twine boxes hold a total of 36 super-sized spools of twine in two rows of nine - plenty for the longest day’s work. Six knotters use less twine, which cuts costs and reduces downtime from refilling.

EasyFill boxes are effortlessly loaded from the ground, with no complex lowering mechanism. Twine spools are stored at a slight angle, which makes them easier to slide in place and tie together. Moreover, a quick glance at the spools allows the operator to see how much twine has been used.

The twine boxes swing forward easily to provide superb access for servicing and maintenance.

Strongest twine for most dense bales

Massey Ferguson has worked closely with leading manufacturers to develop a twine with incredible strength that is a prerequisite for ultra high density bales.

Extensive field and lab testing have defined the correct specification. For European markets, Massey Ferguson’s specialist twine partner, Tama, offers Ultra HD Twine that is the perfect match and factory-approved for the MF 2370 UHD Baler.

As well as being resilient, with tremendous strength and knot performance, the twine design provides continuous smooth running. This allows it to flow freely from the high capacity spools, helping maintain optimum productivity.
